Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, noise in the basement Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, yeah, yeah Hello there and welcome back to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and 3G I am your host Robbie Fox and with me is my co-host and co-pilot Clem to recap the penultimate edition of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. This was part five.

It even says when you boot up Disney+, it says new part available right after Ms. Marvel says new episode available. Which if you're looking for that, we also are now recapping Ms. Marvel in a little quick hitter form. So that's quick. It's not like a full podcast like this, but it's a fun show. It's worthy of it. This was, in my opinion, Clem, the best installment of Obi-Wan Kenobi we got of the series.

It was my favorite personally. And over everything else, it made me realize, I understand the fan base is split on everything in Star Wars nowadays. The one thing I don't think the fan base is split on is the treatment of Darth Vader by Disney. And I'm not even just saying in this show.

I'm saying Disney overall and including Rogue One in there because Darth Vader, they fucking nailed him. I think this is the Darth Vader we've all been asking for for a long time. And we got more of him in this episode. We got some flashback sequences in this episode. Clem you weren't very happy with last week's episode. Or last week's part.

What did you think of part five? So I think my analogy was. Last week's episode. Or part four. We hit a pothole. And you're is it a flat tire? What's going on here? We drove a little while longer this week.

And you got a couple times where you're like I think I smell rubber Which means the tire has popped And there's a couple times where you're like Well I'm moving kind of smooth here Basically whenever Darth Vader's on the screen I feel fine When Darth Vader's not on the screen

I start getting worried And I start smelling the rubber So Next week I don't know if this is confirmed Someone tweeted it at us Shout out to the stool who tweeted it at us And said it was the um the way they the way he tweeted too is rob robbie fox uh south park so basically come everywhere based on this our guy in the mike saga uh the obi-wan kenobi finale

reportedly has a runtime of 93 minutes i hope so so 93 minutes That's basically we're getting a movie We're getting like a long A short story I haven't even heard that I didn't see that tweet Yeah so I don't know if it's been confirmed or anything of the sort It was by Post Cred Pod Bro Bible Pop Culture

It seems pretty Legitimate Sounds like it's just a different universe of our pod. A pro Bible pod, a nerdy pod from them, and it's like a nerdy pod from Barstool Sports. They're variants of us, right? So, I mean, a 93-minute finale, that could go one of two ways

for us here. I don't know if it's been confirmed or what we're going to get. Nonetheless, I'm going to say there were parts of this episode I liked, there was parts this episode i didn't like and i'm trying my hardest excuse me i am honestly trying my hardest to like not be a nitpicker not not go because you can nitpick we've said something you people would have nitpicked empire to fucking death if it had come out during the internet era it's the truth

the fucking from a certain point of view um or that was actually whatever uh but like darth vader being his father all this kind of stuff would have been nitpicked to death the entire original trilogy which is the gold standard but there's just so many things in this that are just right there and i'm just like that's just so sloppy and then darth vader comes in and he fucking does darth vader shit and i'm like oh that. I like that. So I really don't know what to say. I think my favorite was part three, just because we got a lot of Vader in three. Part four was definitely not my favorite. So this, I guess, is better than four, but worse than three for me personally.

But like we've been saying for weeks, you need to help us keep the basement lights on.

It's like the Empire Corners, the Rebels, and the good guys in this episode, and they kind of put them in the cave, hawthor, crate style. That's kind of us right now, and we need to get in that transport, maybe that second transport, and fly on out of there. So you could help us do that by liking the video, subscribing. It genuinely does help. Send the video to your friends if they're watching Obi-Wan. Say, hey, these guys break down Obi-Wan.

They got some predictions right in the first episode that wound up being right in this episode. So maybe, you know, we're helping you bet futures here. That's a great way to put it. Maybe we'll just start doing some Barstool Sportsbook bets, too, just to kind of really stack the odds in our favor. But you said it best, and I would never do the sequel trilogy comparison unless it fit. We are like, obviously, you guys know what happened to podcasts a few weeks ago, months ago, whatever it is at this rate, the numbers are going to dwindle and they're

probably going to dwindle more. We can't keep doing this unless this, unless we are able to survive and numbers are the key thing here. Barstool will start to become more and more of a business instead of everyone just do your thing. So if you guys can either subscribe, download, and then like you said, the most important thing is spreading the word on the podcast more than just we can. We much appreciate it. So we're not going to beg you guys anymore. We've done it enough.

We gave away. We'll figure out a new giveaway for our next set of subscribers. But yeah, you said it, Bob. We're in crate land. We're in crate world right now. Let's get into part five of Obi-Wan Kenobi. And the intro to this episode, Clem, made me at three in the morning go full

Rick Dalton oh my god I can't believe what we're seeing because you see a beautiful landscape and you're like this looks a little prequel-esque and as it zooms out you see the ponytail on a young Anakin Skywalker it's actually a bit of an older Anakin Skywalker as we see in the flashback he's playing the Anakin from pre-Attack of the Clones it is as well because they lose those lightsabers in Attack of the Clones and Anakin still has both of his real hands. This was everything I've been asking to see out of Hayden Christensen joining the show again.

I wanted a prequel flashback and we got such a cool prequel flashback that would have fit so well in the prequels. Seeing that bonding between Obi-Wan and Anakin, we got such a cool prequel flashback that would have fit so well in the prequels like seeing that bonding between obi-wan and anakin seeing obi-wan actually being a teacher to anakin and showing him where he's failing and the entire episode was kind of weaving in and out of this flashback sequence it would usually go back to vader after the flashback sequences which made me think maybe he's the one thinking of this uh but i loved it. It was genuinely, genuinely like just nostalgic, I guess, just seeing them back in

those robes, seeing Ewan McGregor back with kind of the Obi-Wan mullet. This was really cool for me. I was too busy looking at Hayden Christensen. I didn't even look at Ewan McGregor. I have to go back and rewatch it now because I was just looking at him because we haven't really seen him in the show. But I knew that was going to absolutely crush. And I enjoyed it too. I wanted the prequels to be good. I am still down for them to go back and put band-aids on it and make them better. And I was just really happy for you, all the prequel stans out there, prequel Fran herself, everyone just to kind of see that and this is where things like this is where i feel like you can really expand within tv shows it's like they couldn't have like that entire scene in a movie i guess they could have but that just teaches how the

jedi their code and how it works and how someone who is you know kind of a little too aggressive and going towards a dark side can end up fucking himself in the end. And I liked that entire sequence. And again, Vader, Anakin, whatever you say,

when he's on screen, that's when good things are happening. I'm realizing there after this season's over, I'm going to ask you to say, what did you like more? The book of Boba Fett or Obi-Wan Kenobi, which the fact that it's even a toss up in my mind is kind of concerning considering I thought this was going to be the flagship Star Wars product for the 2022.

I feel like Anakin slash Vader, when he's on screen, it's like when Mando was on screen during Book of Boba Fett. It's like, I feel like things just get better. It's a decent comparison, right? So, and granted, like they just had Mandalorian episodes in Book of Boba Fett. And you couldn't do that with this show. You could not slide in with like, Hey, we're going to Mando this week. Imagine they did that.

Just two of the episodes were Mando. All right. Listen, uh, Filoti, Fabra, whoever is like in charge of like the final say in, in the, in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale. If you guys are watching that and you're basically George Lucas at the end of Phantom Menace is like, Oh, maybe we want a little uh crazy just throw in a fucking man i know you have at least one mando episode in the can just throw it on and then put like vader versus kenobi at some point during it and i'll fucking uh and that's the thing it'll be the last thing i remember

i'll be like 10 out of 10 perfect series you just see them like in the background of a mando scene you're like i think those are two lightsabers back there and then as soon as your brain is like wait why are they they just throw baby yoda in your face and you're like oh look at that little guy we've made this comparison a million times on the podcast and i still don't name the note of the name of the actual product but it's the fucking jug of water spilling out with the hole and it just slapped i think it's the fucking jug of water spilling out with the hole. And it just slapped Mando right on top. I think it's Flex Seal, right? Flex Seal. Flex Seal, yeah.

Flex Seal meme. And fucking it's now just become Mando on top of every Star Wars product. Just throw him in there and he'll make everything fine. Everyone's going to be happy. Maybe a little Baby Yoda. You feel the little Mando learn do-do-do sound. And we're fucking geeking out. Yeah, and I'll say this.

I'm loving Obi-Wwan kenobi because i love all star wars stuff you guys know how i am at this point it's not the home run that mando was and i think it just goes to show how good of a show mando actually is and was for the first two seasons especially where it's like it's hard to achieve that not even home run grand slam like i said about uh captain marvel yeah and they they had to they had to nail that too because i honestly don't know if i'm still watching if i'm watching obi-wan kenobi in 2022 if mando didn't hit the way it was because i think we were you know at least i was so down on the star wars properties at that point the rise of scott walker i mean it only made it

hey come on but babu frickick. He's coming back. He's going to be in Mando season three. Is he really? Yeah. Oh, man. Jesus Christ. I can't wait for that. So it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out in the end here.

But we'll go through the episode. We'll go through the episode. The third sister comes and tells Vader where Obi-Wan has been tracked to to i believe it was uh jabim or something like that jabim um and she gets promoted to grand inquisitor in this moment i liked when vader was like i'm not interested in fucking pleasantries kneeling and all that he's like just kneel i'll give you the pin almost like the hand to the king thing in game of thrones right thing yep same thing and she finally gets the position that she's been gunning for that old grand inquisitor that she killed for it,

killed for it. She gets that. And then we were regrouped with the heroes on Jabeem. Kumail has joined the fight. Cause he's like, listen, at this point I got into a fight with that chick too. So I guess I'm on your side and Lola is frying all the wires.

Unfortunately, Lola, big time sus lists, easy to hack those things. I guess. Did I officially, i threw her on the sus list right so that panned out pretty well uh the she has like a red light on her it's like hey dickheads you see a red light that means she's bad that's just how star wars works there's two things in star wars that'll always fucking play if there's a red light on a jury that usually did not have a red light it's bad and two if you shoot the door controls and you want the door open it'll open if you want it to close it'll close it's just two things that are just certainties with electronics in the star

wars universe because i was like i know that they had put the uh the bolt or the tracking device on her but i didn't know she like reprogrammed lola to be a dick too like i didn't know that could just be done that was very weird someone from the empire like at a computer station remote controlling lola as we watch that yeah and that's what i was trying to say because um the third sister has her for like a second and i'm like i guess that's where she puts the bolt on and then i'm like maybe there's another point but i don't know where you reprogrammed her to be a dick i don't think you could like use your force powers to be like now be a real asshole and you know undercut every time she tries to fix stuff in a planet she doesn't even know about right not gonna go there not gonna well she does know about the planet people were

pointing that out they were like she does hear overhear the plans and everything so she does in her mind maybe with the force powers reva like senses that oh that's somewhere in there somewhere in your fucking little 10 year old brat brain layout yeah fair enough fair enough again not gonna nitpick just gonna like the the big stuff that i thought was a little ridiculous there we get some more flashbacks showing anakin's need to win that's a big thing obi-wan's trying to tell him listen jedi don't always need to show like hey i win sometimes you just fight and it goes how it goes and whatnot leia goes into the vents to try to figure out what's going on because the doors are closing and whatnot and the stormtroopers and the third

sister reva arrive on the planet they completely corner everyone into this cave at the same time obi-wan reads or watches a worried message from bail organa and i knew this was going to go south the second i watched it and bail is just saying all of the information he can in the galaxy he's like and by the way i really hope they don't find about that boy on Tatooine whose social security number is 0748. Like, what the fuck, Bale? Obi-Wan's like, listen, just chill out. Be quiet. I'll go get your daughter.

You just need to stop giving things away and get people off my tail. Bale or Ghana. This was a big, big slip up. Bob, put it in post-production. Hit him with the port. What an idiot. What a fucking idiot. Bail Organa.

How the fuck did you become a senator if you're that fucking stupid? Stupid, stupid, stupid. That's another thing. I'm trying not to nitpick. That was, you said, as soon as it happened, you thought that was ridiculous. As soon as it happened. This little thing that could just, like, fall out of your pocket without you even knowing. This little transmitter or whatever.

And he's fucking giving away. It's like, all right, as long as they don't know where luke is oh well luke is at tatooine at the lars residence at 343 fucking sandy dick lane what are you doing ah i'm so mad and this somebody please make the street sign at tatooine i don't know where that came from i think it's Darth Vader The underpants we were talking about Sam Bruce And again if you want me To be like it's like Clem You're nitpicking the new stuff and ignoring the old stuff

No the old stuff was ridiculous too His name is Luke Skywalker They keep Anakin's name On his ass in case like someone ever just Happens to be like is there any Skywalkers in the universe Oh there's one on Tatooine To an uncle who just happens to like adopt him and he's not luke lars he's luke skywalker none of this shit ever made sense it's just when there's a lot of good shit going on on the screen you don't think about that because your brain is like

cool awesome fights funny dialogue with the characters that's the difference between the original trilogy and basically everything since in my humble opinion, we're just going to leave it at that. No more nitpicking Sandy Dickland. Let's go. Let's tell the people about something. That's pretty awesome though.

And that is team handball. Now we've talked about this in the past. You watch handball in the summer Olympics. It's unbelievable. You're like, why is this stuff not on 24 seven? Why isn't this just a regular sport? That's not all the time.

Well, it actually is a regular sport, team handball, and they're growing the business. They're growing the game with the American Handball Company. It's a hard-hitting, high-scoring sport, combines the best parts of basketball, hockey, and soccer together, and now it's finally coming to the U.S. and North America in general.

There's teams all over. It's Toronto, Miami, Detroit, New York. We, of course, root the new york team over here and if you want to play it if you want to watch it if you want to learn more about it the american handball company is the company for you so follow them on twitter and instagram at official underscore t-a-h-c that's t-a-h-c for the american handball company follow them on instagram and twitter they got cool clips. They got stuff where you could actually learn about the game, learn about players.

Clem, you've watched handball in the Summer Olympics. It's electric. Absolutely love it. Every single, it's the sport that everyone is always talking about. Like you have obviously your track, you know, the 100 meter dash or whatever. You have like the basketball games. But handball is always the one that's like like why the fuck isn't this a bigger thing and if you ever played handball as a kid in like gym it was always a fucking blast so again check out the clips go on youtube i'm sure there's a ton of youtubes out

there and i am at the point now where i'm just like looking at my kids i'm thinking college education handball is going to be the next big thing. It's like the, it's the loop Skywalker. No one's really heard of it at this point, even though his name is the same name as the most famous Jedi in the world, the great warrior, Anakin Skywalker fucking get in while you can low on handball. I think if you, if you're a lefty handball player,

it's like gold. Basically it's like finding a left-handed like pitcher that throws 102 miles per hour that's what i'm gonna make aj i'm gonna make him a professional handball player sienna doesn't really have that kind of athletic bone in her body but aj has the energy and he's i think he's like ambidextrous but we're gonna just tie one hand behind his back and he's gonna be learning how to be a left-handed handball player and again if you haven't watched it the two basement boys here basement boy approved

just go watch a highlight the highlights of it you'll be like this is fucking awesome it's such an easy watch which is exactly what we do during the olympics it's on during the work day and everyone will just throw it on their computer and just have it on basement boy approved speaking to aj i saw you tweeted this week you were introducing him to street fighter oh yeah how did that go there was a few aj tweets uh this week i You were introducing him to Street Fighter. Oh yeah. How did that go? There was a few AJ tweets this week. I didn't know which one you were talking about. Cause I,

I started dabbling with the dark side. Absolutely love Street Fighter. I have it right here in the basement. We have a Street Fighter two champion edition and they love it. He's Blanca. That's his go-to Sienna's obviously Chun-Li. The only thing is he just gets so mad. Cause it's the arcade

game. He just gets his ass kicked by the arcade every single time. So I try to get the guy down to like 1% health, but it's all about teaching the kids the classics. He plays a lot of Mario Brothers on the Switch, like the new ones. They have the, on the Switch, they also have, if you have the online package, you can play Nintendo Super Nintendo. So he's getting into Super Mario for Super Nintendo, and he fucking loves it. so it's great just introducing them to the absolute classics i recommend it to any uh parent out there get a switch for your kids all the new stuff is great but they can kind of play some old stuff teach them the classics yeah i have a switch and the old stuff is like so much fun when you it's just like on the home page is the emulator i guess it's

called yeah like the old stuff yeah and the cool thing too that they do is there's just like on the homepage is the emulator, I guess it's called. I like the old stuff. Yeah. And the cool thing too that they do is there's like the specials where sometimes like Mario 3, they'll put you on the last level with like all the good shit. Or you'll have 99 lives with every single board beat in Super Mario for Super Nintendo. And it's just like in case you never beat stuff or wanted to try stuff and you weren't good enough to do it as a kid, they're like, just go have a ball now. Live your fucking childhood. Relive your childhood and win. So back to Obi-Wan.i-wan part five again obi-wan goes to stall for time with riva he's like all right let me go negotiate stall for time and this is very much a clone wars

obi-wan tactic we saw him do this a thousand times in the clone wars where this was more his style and anakin was more let me just go out there and fight them and blow shit up and Poe Dameron almost, Daredevil style. And he realizes who Riva is pretty quickly. It seems like he had been thinking about it where he's like, hey, how did you know Vader and Anakin were the same person? I don't think that's something that Vader would let up unless you were there the night of Order 66. Clem, this was one of my best predictions ever because it was something that I thought two seconds into the series. I said it in episode one in our episode one recap.

I thought she was one of those younglings and it wound up being true. We see a full Order 66 sequence that's pretty rough. I guess you see kids dying, getting stabbed by Anakin, him coming back into the temple. There are certain scenes in this fictional setting that some people may find upsetting. I saw that in the front. I said, oh, I guess we're getting Order 66 right now.

Upsetting, that's a good way to put it. And Reva talks about how she laid with the dead bodies and whatnot. And it looks like, based on later in the episode, she did get stabbed as a kid but used that revenge to survive yeah and i i we have talked about this i think since we started talking about star wars is how i always wanted to see a little more of order 66 i still want to see more of order 66 i don't need to just see the younglings getting slower the younglings being coming like a meme it was just a meme thing right and it's like i guess they could have showed us more that's fine because it shows just how fucking sick and

twisted anakin was i would have liked to see more order 66 stuff hopefully they have a few things in their pocket coming in the you know future or whatever uh but she's like obi-wan where were you when we were getting hunted he's like bitch i was getting hunted too they know who i was they were like obi-wan kenobi he's like top three on the fucking the like the the hunt list right his best friend cody was after him yeah it's like so again it's like trying to explain that to a kid that had like all her friends murdered and was murdered basically attempted murdered herself i can understand why she's upset but like why didn't obi-wan be like bitch i had it's like that guy that was fucking killing everyone there that was my dude i had no clue this was coming and he would have killed my ass if i was there i was just trying to the fact that i survived it is

like a miracle in itself so that was just my take on it but she's out for herself too that was something that you brought up at some point like she's after anakin she wants to kill darth vader assassinate him and she's also not cool with obi-wan either she's after anakin she wants to kill darth vader assassinate him and she's also not cool with obi-wan either she's like fuck you too like do you really want anakin dead so she's completely off on her own i wouldn't call her a gray jedi she's like a gray sith and we almost need like the chaotic good chaotic evil because there are levels to this first of all shout out bob fox called that fucking episode one like the first minute of the of the recap you're like i think she's gonna be one of the younglings absolutely fucking nailed it and this i think is something that for me casual star wars

fan or fast casual star wars fan i did not see much of in basically just watching the movies and the mando shows but i think you probably see people like this more in the cartoons where it's like they're a little more gray. They don't really fight for a quote-unquote side. They fight for themselves and whatever happened in their life shaped the way that they think and act. And is that a fair way to put it, the way she is there? Yes.

But again, it was just so weird. I was like when Vader went back and he was like, Neil, and then she just has this little pin on her. I just thought that was so weird. I was like, when Vader went back and he was like, Neil, and then she just has this little pin on her. I just thought that was fucking weird. I also think the youngling thing could be a twist on Riva's like story arc. Eventually, I see her story arc ending with, you know, later in the episode, she finds out about Luke. Like we said, I see her going after Luke and realizing that she is who she feared as a child, that like maybe Luke and Leah were looking at her with the same fear in their eyes that she was looking at Anakin.

And she's like, what the fuck am I doing? That's my prediction for the finale. Bob Fox is feeling himself right now. You're doubling down. You won your money from your fucking, you're like 10 to one shot. And now you're going to look to make some more money by putting it back on

the table. Yeah. Fucking love it. Bob Fox, Arsenal sports book. Download the app right now. We're just trying to make some more money by putting it back on the table. I fucking love it, Bob Fox. Barstool Sportsbook, download the app right now. We're just trying to keep the basement fucking lights on, guys. Come on. Listen, anytime you make a bet on the Barstool Sportsbook app, tag Dave, tag Erica.

But then also be like, I made this bet because I listen to my mom's basement. We're just trying to make things work here. And then at BS Sportsbook, whatever whatever you can keep the basement lights on we're like i'm not like this whole fucking company was built on just like making moves and you know stick it to you make it let's fucking do it bob let's fucking we're the rebels yeah we might not have the the biggest high tech we might not have the biggest army but you know what we got the heart exactly you go to the third floor though where the suits are and they're the ones all everything's nice and clean they're in their fucking like suits basically right we gotta show up in suits one day like

we're like uh obi-wan or not obi-wan like we're luke and han on the death star like in the storm trooper outfits yeah hank has almost become like he he's the one who's evolved up to it right is hank tarkin oh boy i feel like hank Hank is almost like Vader at this point where he was like once one of us and now he's up there, right? Yeah, Portnoy is still down on the second floor. I don't know. We're making a lot. I don't want to make any enemies here either. I don't know who's listening, who's not listening.

I don't want to be throwing Tarkin around. Everyone listens. Come on. I thought you were going to say everyone was an enemy. I'm like, man, it's getting dark here right now. From my point of view, everyone on the third floor is an enemy. The stormtroopers break in. They overwhelm the forces of the good guys.

And unfortunately, Tala takes one for the team. We saw Tala's death coming a mile away as well. And not only her, her robot dies too too the silent robot who saved obi-wan this was almost like a k2so death where it's like oh but the fucking droid i get that people are dying but the droid um and tala has the thermal detonator in her hand a classic trick where it's like just go i'm gonna blow them up and she does blow a bunch of them up. So shout out Tala, RIP my dog Tala. RIP our dog Tala for sure. The Loader Droid, that fucked me up, man.

There's something about the way droids go out in Star Wars. It really does like gut me. Again, this is coming from someone who's R2-D2 is my favorite character. The Millennium Falcon's like in my top three, if not maybe five. Yet whenever these fucking droids go out i was crushed man ned b r.i.p ned b now listen tala ned b we fucking love you guys but this does not hold the candle this death to our guy wade who by the way not one person nobody mentioned not one person in jubin was like hey where did wade go not one fucking person would have been great if they got back

and there was a huge banner that just said, welcome back, Wade. And they were like, they just they gave him the head shake. They like to know. Take it down. Oh, Wade. Wade, I am never going to forget this fucking Wade. I got a show on the podcast that I texted you over the weekend where I said, hey, did you see the latest addition to the special trilogy? And you said, I have no idea if you're kidding or not.

And someone photoshopped Wade into Return of the Jedi there. I saw that on the Star Wars Reddit. I was like, that's too good not to send to Clem. Four greatest warriors ever to exist in a galaxy far, far away. Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, Master Skywalker, and Wade fucking Wade, not Dwayne Wade.

Wait, I don't want to offend the Wade. So I'm any, any Wade listeners. I'm just going to, you know, I watched a movie with a Wade last night. I watched Deadpool.

My girlfriend had never seen it. I was like, Oh, you'd never seen the first Deadpool funny movie. And we watched that shout out Wade Wilson, out Wade Wilson shout out the girl I can never remember her name who plays his wife or girlfriend or whatever in it like Marina Borican or something yep yep um I had like a deep deep-seated crush on her so does large I mentioned that to my girlfriend I said this is one of Clem's biggest crushes swear to god during the movie and

the the holiday scene is one of the all-time greatest scenes in the history of marvel cinema mcu not mcu movie really well my favorite like comedic moment in it though is when he cuts the hand off and then he's just touching his neighbor's face with his tiny baby hand so funny obi-wan goes and quote-unquote surrenders to try to get the troops out he He's like, I have a plan. Gives up the lightsaber. They're like, how do you fight without a lightsaber? He's like, there's a way to fight without a lightsaber. And then they show us in the flashback sequence, you know, he lost his lightsaber, got Anakin's with the force and everything.

And he goes and surrenders. Brought in front of Reva. Stormtroopers go and take him inside because Vader wants to come down himself. And he breaks free of them pretty quickly vader comes down to jabim he's got that power walk strut where he was moving yeah he's like i'm gonna fucking kill obi-wan here he goes this fucking little bitch he gets away from me on tatooine on that sandy planet i'm getting him now and he pulls the wrong transport down transport goes to take away take goes to take off he grabs it he pulls the wrong transport down. Transport goes to take away,

goes to take off. He grabs it. He pulls it down and then he rips it apart like just with raw power. No one's inside of it because the transport behind of it takes away. Just a classic. He was so,

Anakin was so determined to get that win over Obi-Wan, to get that declarative win. He didn't even think oh there's a fucking transport right behind it what an idiot what a fucking idiot i that was a great misdirect it also reminded me of when we think chewbacca dies that's what it reminded me of as well then i got mad about the sequel trilogy again so i was all over the goddamn playstones but i don't know if like you see this in any other parts of the star wars lore i didn't know

vader could do that just flat out didn't know and i'm like oh that's the bad motherfucker we have the bad motherfucker video games but never like never really in live action i don't think yeah because even rogue one which again is i think the gold standard for the badass vader in this era where he's still young and he just has this fury running through him he's doing shit that you've seen before he's just cutting people down with his lightsaber and he's using the force to choke kill people but to fucking just take a starship as it's leaving and then just rip it apart like a fucking can unbelievable just blind rage I I was geeking out by a big time and then obviously the Chewbacca thing came up uh i will say the obi-wan stuff with reba there was a few things i liked a few things i didn't like when they were like

talking through the door as she is as they're like whenever listen star wars for future projects don't just have stormtroopers shoot blindly at a door it's just not entertaining tv think of a different way even if it's like you're doing the game of thrones where you're like trying to hammer it in with like a battering ram. That seems more fun than just, all right, fire at the door, two, two, two. Oh my God, they're firing at the door. Not fun.

Him talking with her about like, if she was a youngling, as there's like a thousand stormtroopers right there with an earshot, kind of weird as well. Nonetheless, the line where he says, I'm bringing him to you, that I love. That was cool. We could end this together that's kind of

was like uh vader saying to luke like we could get rid of the emperor we could do this together i love that kind of stuff and then again vader just coming out and just fucking going full vader and everyone awesome it almost got to the point where i forgot that that the entire plan of these people escaping and being safe from you know the stormtroopers was relying on a 10 year old as far as i know has no electronics expertise at all just went in she seems smart but yeah that's that's about it and again this is coming from someone like so group did this in gardens of the galaxy 2 but he was told by someone who is a fucking electronics whiz in Rocket, just hit the red button. I did everything else.

Just hit this button, not that button. And then we get the jokes about him hitting the wrong button. Well, I guess Leia was just told, cut the red wire. Yeah, I guess so. I guess. But then it was when we had the stuff where it's like, Lola's in there and she's trying to figure it out. That just, like like blew my mind. I didn't know what the fuck was going on and Sienna.

So I watched this with Sienna. I watched this episode and she goes, when they, when Leah took the bolt off, she goes, why did they put the bolt so easy to take off? And I'm like, that's a good question.

We're not going to worry about it. Cause I don't think it's one of those things you think anyone's going to discover. It's like, if you put a tracking device on a car, you're not going to have it stick there forever, but it was just something from it through a kid's eyes watching Star Wars. That was her question.

So I appreciated that. That's fair enough. I got a new advertiser to tell everyone about. And this is very, very interesting and relevant to the basement boys and girls out there. This actually gives me hope that the basement's going to stick around. I know. This is like perfect for us. Yeah.

It's called Whatnot. It's called whatnot. It's a new live stream auction app where you can buy collectibles like sports cards, Pokemon cards, comics, things like sneakers, really almost anything on this app. It's an auction app. So you could put things up, you could buy things, whatever you want to do. Sellers will host live streams and people bid back and forth in real time. So there's live streams 24 seven. If you wake up at four in the morning, you go on Twitter, you're like, Oh, there's no one on Twitter right now. It's a boring timeline. Go over to whatnot. You could pretty much purchase Funko pops, comics, whatever's on my shelf back there. I'm trying to look back there.

And now barstool is what not newest seller. We're going to be going live twice a week on whatnot, running live shows and selling never-before-seen auction items and Whatnot exclusives. So maybe even me and Clem, we have toys in the office that we could get rid of and whatnot. Maybe we'll run an auction on nerdy collectibles and fun stuff like that. When I went to the page, so you're like, oh, we have the new sponsor.

I go to the page, and this is what I see on the page. Funko, comics, sneakers, sports stuff, and Pokemon. That was the first thing I saw. I was like, oh, so this is made for us. And then I think this is just a coincidence, but you said barstool selling. And the first thing I see was this. I don't know for the people on YouTube watching. Oh, can I put this up as a stream? Oh, I thought that guy with the pink background background i thought that was yp i thought yp was selling shit on whatnot and i'm like oh shit there's yp so uh whatnot is going to be a big part of barstool i need portway to be doing the auctioneer stuff uh and then of course the king of it our boy from the king of the south mincy if mincy can get on and do that one day that that would be incredible.

vader's looking at those ships just fucking angry and in the final flashback sequence obi-wan hits him with a dagger where he's like and that's why a padawan you will still be it's like oh he used the p word on him basically calling him a pussy right to his face and riva ignites that lightsaber and she thinks she's gonna get one over on darth vader in this moment foolish she swings it at him and he just halts it he's like obi-wan was smart to use you against me. And he realizes what was going on. She realizes what was going on.

That probably gives her more hatred towards Obi-Wan where she's like, that motherfucker used me. And they get into a fight, a quote unquote fight, because Vader's toying with her the entire time. For the first half of it, he's just like ducking, dodging, weaving. It kind of looked like Anderson Silva fighting Forrest Griffin, if you remember that fight from back in the day, any UFC fans,, he's just like ducking, dodging, weaving. It kind of looked like Anderson Silva fighting Forrest Griffin, if you remember that fight from back in the day, any UFC fans, where it's just like, this guy's not even throwing strikes.

He's just like, oh, really? That's all you got? He takes her lightsaber away from her, which becomes the double-sided like Inquisitor spinny lightsaber. And he just splits it in half and he throws her a half. And he's like, all right, you want to try me? Here is a lightsaber for you. And she doesn't even come close to hitting him once. It's just like boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.

And then stabs her or comes close to stabbing her, gets her down. The Grand Inquisitor comes back and has this face that says, as people online have said, I lived, bitch. And he hits her with a horrible line. Goodbye, Grand Inquisitor. Stabs her. She gets a flashback to when she got stabbed. And the Grand Inquisitor said, oh, revenge does wonders for the will to live now, doesn't it? I cannot believe they didn't just kill her when they acknowledged that.

This is the one thing where I'm like'm like okay revenge does wonders for the will to live is and are any of the stormtroopers going to be like well what about her revenge because she might be able to live and also is obi-wan looking at all these people just surviving lightsaber wounds to the chest thinking was quagmire a bitch why did he why did i kill him quagmire was a fucking little bitch i guess he didn't have any revenge in his heart. That's going to be the next episode. He keeps trying to contact him. He's like, Master, is this why you're not talking to me?

Were you embarrassed at the fact that you died from such a bitch wound? Doesn't this Obi-Wan at this point know is Darth Maul survived on revenge, right? He was chopped in motherfucking half. Yeah. He survived on revenge. Yet these people, do they want her to right? He was chopped in motherfucking half. Yeah. And he survived on revenge. Yet these people, do they want her to survive? That was my next question. Are they like, she's going to be mad, but she'll be more mad at Obi-Wan.

She'll go after him. Even though Darth Vader stopped an entire ship and ripped it apart to get him, yet he wouldn't like make fire disappear. Like does the force not work on fire? Is it like with hoverboards where they don't work over water and back to the future too i don't understand how it works but that was the questions i had i had going on and that was your thing and again listen not nitpicking just i saw someone say this and i'm just going to repeat it was the grand inquisitor just listening

and waiting for darth vader to be like all, Grand Inquisitor, come in now because we had a whole – Yeah, we said Vader's got a flair for the dramatic. He does. He does. He wants a big entrance at all times for everyone. I just thought all that was a little off. But it's kind of like when, again, going back to my little guy, AJ, he's like, Daddy, can we play basketball?

We play on his little tyke soup soup and he just goes for the dunk. And I just swat the crap out of him every single time. That's basically what Darth Vader was doing sparring with. And when he calls her youngling, Oh, that was mean through the first, you know, he gets the P word thrown at him. So then he throws the Y word at her. It was absolutely awesome. It's kind of like, did you really think I would not see young wing yeah Oh that was dope that was

And again there's those little moments where I'm like all right like there's still good In this universe in this Series but I just don't know if we're Going to get it during the finale and I'm glad They nailed Vader because he's arguably the Most important character in all of Star Wars to like nail to make sure you

Don't fuck up that person It's like they fucking nailed him in this and then to end the episode riva does find that little chip that has the bail organa message about luke and his address and his social security number and all that and we cut to tatooine and it was a cool shot it was kind of looked grainy and stuff and they focus in on the lars homestead focusing on Luke sleeping. And my final note was LMAO Luke, just no idea. Just like he's laying in bed, just dreaming about starships and life is good. And I'm going to drink some blue milk with cereal tomorrow morning. And he's just like, you know, war is going on for you right now, buddy.

Think about Luke. Like he obviously lives in a desert. There's not a lot of stuff. I'm sure he doesn't have a lot of friends there's not a lot of stuff going on he's getting toys just popping up like yeah that's pretty fucking awesome that the the new toy out of nowhere feeling must be getting luke through like months basically of excitement and he just has no idea that uh that bill or gonna just fucked him over big time and i had i had to make this note. Earlier in the episode, when Obi-Wan is watching the hologram, he fucking pulled off Sir Alec Guinness' look when he's looking at the hologram in A New Hope. And I never noticed it. And I'm telling you, go back and watch. He's, like, doing, like, the beard thing.

You know, he's kind of. And I was like, that was a Bravo moment. That was something that I give them a fucking Star Wars point for. I do think Ewan's been great in the whole series like his dialogue has been good i think his accent his alec guinness voice is back like i think ewan mcgregor has been very very good as obi-wan always has been maybe obi-wan could have been a better show or i'm not gonna say better show but a different show that people more people would have liked if he wasn't like washed Obi-Wan and terrified of Vader Obi-Wan maybe if this was season two or three it would have been a little better to gradually see him get to this point and we're

allegedly getting a season two it'll be interesting to see where they go you can't just do like he didn't fight with Vader for 10 years leading up to A New Hope so is that where you bring back Maul and you do the rebel stuff with maul is that where you do more flashback sequences i would almost like if every episode was focused around a flashback sequence like this one and maybe i'm shooting myself in the foot by saying that because we were talking about all the flashbacks in book of boba but it was really well done here that that's how you do a flashback instead of just keep we kept going back to the sand people and it never really did anything it just made boba kind of a bitch who didn't wear his did you see tamora morrison the

other day it's like we need to get back to boba fett being awesome it's like yeah asshole that's what we were saying every single week until mando saved your own show from you and i'm not i'm not gonna go down i feel like i'm turning to the dark side as these words leave my mouth. But I just feel like there's so much there that can be done. What do you want to see in the finale? In the hopefully 93-minute finale, which I unconfirmed. Hopefully it is the case. If we're going to have 93 minutes, though, you got to fucking hit the 93 minutes. Because I'm telling you, if this episode was 93 minutes, I would have been looking to put a blaster in my face i think the lightsaber fight above all else has to live up to the hype you

have to deliver us a badass fight between obi-wan and darth vader i would like to see qui-gwan as well as a force ghost hearing him would be very cool seeing him was what i want to see you know we heard all the jedi and rise of skywalker we heard quagglon on that one yeah let's see him back in that role and i would like to see uh ewan mcgregor obi-wan put the sabers back in that box for luke for later okay yep that could be cool and again maybe he even uses anakin's lightsaber i was thinking that like does anakin see he still has his lightsaber and that's something that makes him so fucking angry? Or he's like, Padme love when I used to rubber back with this.

I would love a Padme fucking dick, even if it's not true, but a little zinger. Instead of like a, it's just a vibrator. That was Padme. Sorry about that, Annie. Didn't mean to show you that one. You were right. You had the force, dude. You fucking caught red hand no i i could live with more flashbacks again we're going back oh yeah

um we're going back to prequel time i'd actually like that yeah and i saw somebody edited uh the fight scene with some old prequel music. And I think one of them was like the love song, which seemed kind of weird as two guys are fighting. But I could like give those prequel vibes, but just do it better. 100% fine. Again, don't talk about taxation.

I'm good with the prequels. We're not talking about taxation and weird shit. I think you said it perfectly though. Flashbacks that tell the story, if they could do that again, or though flashbacks that tell the story if they could do that again or just flashbacks that kind of just you know harbor on the relationship between anakin and obi-wan either how they how anakin started to hate him how he was starting to get out of control or just how close they really were back in the day um and then like you said the fight

scene is so goddamn important they have to have to have to nail that more than anything in the world because i'm telling you if you think like the flat tire if they fuck up that scene the car lights on fire and it blows up in our face basically it's like when um in grand theft auto when you first see the smuggler like oh better get out of this one or when it's flipped upside down and it's just the cars just explode in grand theft auto when they turn yeah is this a dumb question does that happen in real life if you flip your car upside down it doesn't just let on fire and blow up no not always oh maybe it happens sometimes i feel like a grand theft auto they just can't have like a thousand upside down cars so they had to wipe them off the map that's something i'd love to know if i could ever talk to the creators of grand theft auto but i just

want to make sure that's not the case i'm not a a car guy. I don't know that. I don't think so. I saw some criticism of the flashback sequence for Hayden Christensen looking too old. And like, I get that you could see like, okay, he's aged since then. I didn't think it was that bad though. I was like, all right, I could, I could let my imagination run wild there. I did think the same thing. I thought he looked a little old and I'm like, I guess we could have done some sort of, I mean, they brought Carrie Fisher back to life, right? They could definitely airbrush some stuff, but I wasn't gonna,

you know, I wasn't gonna let it affect me. And also when I saw that, that message of being, there are certain scenes in this fictional setting that some people might find upsetting. I honestly thought we were going to 10 year old. I thought Leia was going to like show how she learned how to become Carrie

Poppins. I thought we were going to have, I'm like, that would be upsetting. That would really piss me off. That would make me very angry. Yeah, no,

that would have upset you way too much. All right. That was the end of our penultimate Obi-Wan recap. I hope that you like this video. If you already haven't, make sure you subscribe. And if you're on the podcast feed, give us a rating and review.

Keep the basement lights on. Do we have a hashtag for the people that made it to the end of the episode? Hmm. Trying to think of a word like Bail Organa, but like Fail Organa. There we go. Hashtag Fail Organa because he's the dumbest motherfucker in a galaxy far, far away. And I still don't understand how you could just be So stupid this very easy thing that

If it goes in the wrong hand could absolutely Destroy the universe Oh another And I also wanted to make this point Potential savior of the whole Canon nonsense with Leia being a 10 year old Perhaps she's like Oh my idiot fucking father almost

Gave away all the secrets That's why she's like you served idiot Fucking father almost gave away All the secrets That's why she's like you served with my father During the Clone Wars Not that I was the kid That was running around with you as Vader was coming after us So that's going to be my little Prediction for the finale right there That's pretty good

YouTube comments they help as well Give us your predictions or what you're hoping To see in the final right there. Tweet at us, hashtag FailurGhana, and I guess just pray that this is a good episode whether it's three minutes or 93 minutes. That's right. All right, we'll see

you next week to talk about the finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
